“…and kept my Washington Post subscription.
And I’m glad I did. Your journalism is close to being nonpareil.
But how can you do an entire debrief on the outcome of the 2024 general election without once mentioning voter suppression?
The principal project of conservative megadonors over the last 50 years has been severely restricting access to voting. A project conceived in the ‘70s and enacted beginning in the ‘80s is bearing strange fruit today.
Conservative megadonors getting Trump into office a second time — largely by attacking voting, restricting voting, preventing voting, and tossing out an unprecedented number of ballots even after they were cast — is openly a win for the old Confederacy.
Are you so genteel that, to uphold the old myth of U.S. exceptionalism, “the beacon of democracy and free elections,” you will ignore the truth in the data staring us all right in the face??
The right to vote itself has been under attack across the U.S. since the 1980s. Getting the truth out to the public will require an act of selfless journalism … and I hope you will commit it!”
